i like to do everything both sides. i hit blur > toe whirl [repeat] yesterday. and was happy! do you care about skooling flipside? do you think its important?

Im glad you asked.
I think I am paranoid/ a perfectionist When it comes to "flipside". Whenever I do a string of goodside moves (ESPECIALLY when im training), I feel really akward only using my good side.

I can do some sets (stepping atomic) better on my flipside and like pixie and nuclear better good side. Although I think this is just because with those sets Im actually doing the dex with my good leg.

Dada Curve Is the only move i can't hit (That I can with my right) With my left foot
Of course I know my right is better, but I refuse to move on till ive hit all my moves on both sides

not for some time i think. right now working on double leg over i think is what it is called.ok i will try the jobs and then try to explain it after that.
SET > OP IN [DEX] > OP OUT [DEX] > SAME TOE [DEL]
well that is it i checked. any tips?

I just hit this recently. The key to it is to not panic. You have plenty of time to set the bag and get both legs over. You need to concentrate on the timing of your hop to get both legs over and you also need to think about keeping your legs both close to one another and close to the bag. Set about waist high, don't panic, and get both legs over together and smoothly. At least these things helped me.

Sorry for the brief thread drift. I too have to hit things on my flipside. The thing that makes me the most angry is that I am side dominant. I have no problem hitting things from my either toe set. I do have a lot of problems hitting stuff set from a right clipper (I am right footed). This drives me nuts!

what-side?

Sorry for the confusion. I was saying that my strong side is right toe and left clipper. Therefore my right clipper is my flipside.

what was Eli's new goofy term for that? I don't think it was Big Footed, it was the other one... i don't recall.

Being both-sided is everything.

There is no rule in footbag that is more important. You may even use your hands, if you want, but be able to do it on both sides!

If you can hit a move only on one side, you haven't learned the trick yet, only 50% of it.

Don't try any big moves as long as your are not equally good on both sides when doing basics (1add-, 2add-, easy 3add-moves).

Amen.

sorry for sounding like preaching or shit, this is just too important to be not taken serious. I'm far away from being god, btw.

I think it was cause of the "Amen" at the end of your post. But I don't know if God would ever need to say Amen for anything (maybe out of silliness).

I find footbag easier with SMALL shoes. I wear a 7 mens/8.5 womens now. It feels like you can't slack off on your delays, but you benefit from this.

Bono · Post by **Bono** » 15 Oct 2002 19:07

well yeah and i'm sure size 7 is quite a bit lighter than my size 11, which must be a big help for all your symposium stuffs.
